Native Cultures Fund

The Native Cultures Fund (NCF) supports Native arts, cultural revitalization, and knowledge transmission between generations with interest in healing historic trauma. The program serves a 50-county region in California and has awarded over $1.7 million in direct grants to over 305 community-led projects.

The NCF makes grant awards between $1,000 and $10,000 to 3-10 projects in each of two annual grant cycles each year. Deadlines for these grants are May 1 and October 1. Grants are made to individuals, community partnerships, and to nonprofit organizations. These grants are made possible in partnership with the William & Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Jack Montoya Memorial Fund.
